Former Coach Gene Bartow Inducted into National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame
Related Links
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
Gene Bartow, who served as Valparaiso's head men's basketball coach from 1964-1970, was one of six inductees in the Class of 2009 into the National Collegiate Basketball of Fame in a ceremony held this past Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.
Bartow, who also spent time coaching at Central Missouri State, Memphis, Illinois, UCLA and UAB, won 93 games over his six seasons at the helm of the Crusaders and is the third-winningest coach in Valpo history. During his tenure, Bartow took Valpo to three NCAA Tournaments, highlighted by an appearance in the national quarterfinal in 1967. He was previously inducted into the Valparaiso University Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the inaugural class in 1998.
Bartow closed his coaching career with 647 total victories over 34 seasons as a head coach and ranks among the top-25 winningest NCAA Division I head coaches of all-time. Bartow was joined by fellow coach Jud Heathcote, as well as Travis Grant and Wayman Tisdale (players) and Walter Byers and Bill Wall (contributors) as inductees to the Hall of Fame in this year's class. In addition, Larry Bird and Earvin 'Magic' Johnson, who were both inducted as part of the inaugural class in 2006, were both honored at this year's ceremony.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Stay with me now: If the New Orleans Hornets change their name to the Pelicans, then the Hornets name would be available, and the Charlotte Bobcats could thusly claim it, becoming the Charlotte Hornets, heretofore reclaiming the Queen City's NBA birth right.
Those are a lot of dominoes. But they seem, at this point, to be falling in order.
In April, when New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson bought the New Orleans Hornets, he said he wanted to change the name. During the final game of last season, deputy NBA commissioner Adam Silver came to town and told The Charlotte Observer that he expected to have a conversation with the Bobcats about a name change. A week ago, Benson's wife talked about what the new colors would be for New Orleans' uniforms. And Tuesday night, Yahoo! Sports reported that the team would change its name from the Hornets to Pelicans next season.
Couple that with comments Bobcats owner Michael Jordan made to the Observer about a name change. If the Hornets name were to become available, then MJ would be open to reclaiming it, he said.
Suddenly, something that seemed farfetched at the beginning of the year looked increasingly possible at the end.
So, in that vein, we present to you several random facts about the Hornets, the Bobcats, and how often sports franchises stay in the same town, but change names.
1. Mecklenburg County's population has more than doubled since the Hornets were created.
· 1987 (NBA awards a franchise to Charlotte): 473,760
· 2002 (Hornets leave Charlotte for New Orleans): 727,134
· 2012 (Hornets name may come back): 966,160
2. In 1996, the Charlotte Hornets drafted Kobe Bryant with the 13th pick, but traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers for Vlade Divac. Bryant went on to win five titles with the Lakers. Divac went on to have himself name-checked in rapper Wale's song "Barry Sanders":
"Interscope feeling like Charlotte when they traded Kobe you know? But I let it go, Rozay finna re-up. He got himself a Kobe and they stuck with Vlade Divac."
3. The last NBA team to change its nickname without changing cities was the Washington Wizards, which dropped its Bullets name in 1997, and not without controversy, either. Other teams that have done the same: The Houston Astros (formerly the Houston Colt .45s), the Tennessee Titans (which were the Tennessee Oilers after moving from Houston) and the Tampa Bay Rays (formerly the Devil Rays).
4. The NBA owns the rights to the name "Charlotte Hornets," which, supposedly, would allow Charlotte to reclaim the nickname more quickly. It also allows official Charlotte Hornets merchandise to be sold, even though the team is technically defunct. In 2010, the Charlotte Hornets brand still created about $1 million in "impact value," according to an April article in the Observer.
5. Charlotte Hornets jerseys never had the word "Hornets" on them. In his book You Gotta Believe!, former owner George Shinn said that was by design:
I've made it clear that my objective is to promote my city. No matter where we go around the country, whether we're playing the Knicks, the Bulls, the Warriors, the Spurs, or the Lakers, when the fans see our players, they see Hornets all right—they're the monsters on the court jamming the ball down the other team's throat! But their jerseys say Charlotte.
6. This still exists:

I have a 1.1.1 version iphone which I have successfully unlocked and upgraded to 1.1.2 thanks to reading up on the forums which I use daily. So thanks to all of you for the guides and now there are even easier guides to use then I had available from before.
Now the problem I am having is with a new iphone I bought yesterday. It is a firmware version 1.1.2 week 46 and I know that I cannot unlock/anysim this version (yet). I wanted to at least jailbreak it and use it as an ipod touch which is as far as I can read... is possible.
Please remember I have already done this once before and don't need any flaming but would like some good inputs as to what maybe happening here.
I force the iphone into DFU mode and use itunes 7.4.3 to restore the phone to 1.1.1 by holding shift+clicking restore button (I am a PC user obviously by this method). I direct itunes to the 1.1.1 restore file (same one I used for my last phone) itunes then does it's thing for a few minutes and I get the expected error 1015 and I close the next 2 windows (error screen and restore you iphone screen) hitting ok and then closing itunes. My phone is now locked and asking for itunes on the main screen by way of the connector and itunes symbols pictured.
I have used both ibrickr and iphuc to reboot my iphone out of this locked mode. (now I have tried to goto my task manager and have also "ended" ituneshelper.exe but I don't think this has helped anything) I do this and it goes back to the springboard and asks for itunes to register and or slide for emergency call (great just as expected).
I do the usual procedure to get the phone to hookup to my network via "prefs" and add in "jailbreakme" to an additional url. ( I have also set the iphone in general - autolock to "never")
Back to the begining and I work my way back to my contacts and use safari to goto "jailbreakme" I scroll down and try to install AppSnapp where then safari closes and the iphone goes back to the springboard (opening screen for emergency calls) and I wait.... and wait.... and wait.... way too long as my iphone now does not reset itself and reboot into a jailbreak mode.
I believe I am downgrading to version 1.1.1 but when I *3001#12345#* and goto versions it still reads 04.02.13 for the firmware.
So is it downgrading or has apple blocked the downgrade option for my new iphone so I cannot jailbreak it (which means this is a very light but expensive brick till there is something new that comes out). Please let me know if I am missing anything.
thanks in advance for all your input guys

Azra was a rock band from Zagreb, Croatia that was popular across former Yugoslavia in the 1980s. Azra was formed in 1977 by its frontman Branimir "Johnny" Štuli�. Other two members were Mišo Hrnjak and Boris Leiner. Azra was named after a verse "Ja se zovem El Muhamed/Iz plemena starih Azra" (trans. "My name is El Muhamed/From tribe of old Azra") from a sevdalinka "Kraj tanahna šadrvana", which is a translation of Heinrich Heine's song Der Asra. They are considered to be one of the most influential bands from the New Wave era in the former Yugoslavia.
They released their first single in 1979 with songs "Balkan" and "A šta da radim". The first album named "Azra" and published in 1980 achieved commercial success and popularized Azra in former Yugoslavia. Azra recorded its last studio album "Izmedju krajnosti" in 1987. In 1988 the band recorded 4LP live album under the name Zadovoljština (Satisfaction), after which Štuli� disbanded the band.

Rebel or Yankee? Randy's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun Makes Me Wonder.
Here was the assignment:
1) List your 16 great-great-grandparents in pedigree chart order. List their birth and death years and places.
2) Figure out the dominant ethnicity or nationality of each of them.
3) Calculate your ancestral ethnicity or nationality by adding them up for the 16 - 6.25% for each (obviously, this is approximate).
4) If you don't know all 16 of your great-great-grandparents, then do it for the last full generation you have.
5) Write your own blog post, or make a comment on Facebook or in this post.
I didn't follow Randy's directions exactly, but follow me for a moment.
Here's my list:
- Francis Marion Lincecum, b. 8 Jan 1857 Cape Girardeau County, Missouri
- Annie Victoria Gibbs, b. 15 Jul 1871 Missouri
- John William Hector, b. 30 Dec 1870 Missouri
- Louella Summerlin, b. Missouri
- George Moore Campbell, b. 11 Jul 1883 Camack, Massac County, Illinois
- Hattie Ann Lancaster, b. 2 Nov 1883 Morley, Missouri
- Columbus Marion Robbins, b. 6 Apr 1875 Missouri
- Alice Mae Huffman, b. 1879-1880 Missouri
- William Benjamin Logue, b. 1852 Hancock County, Georgia
- Sara Evelyn Brown, b. 1848-1852 Georgia
- Michael C. Peavy, b. 13 Jan 1835 Perry, Houston County, Georgia
- Sara Ann Rebecca Turner, b. unknown
- Abraham L. Prine, b. 4 Feb 1862 Tennessee
- Sarah Elizabeth Deckard, b. 8 May 1868 Douglas County, Missouri
- James Riley Watts, b. 1860-1861 Missouri
- Amanda Stubbs, b. 1857-1868 Missouri
According to my math, here are the results:
62.5% Missouri
18.75% Georgia
6.25% Illinois
6.25% Tennessee
6.25% unknown
Some would say this would conclude I am a deep rooted rebel. However, we cannot assume this! Georgia and Tennessee are easy southern states, and Illinois is an easy northern state. We all know about Missouri, the Mason-Dixon line, and the compromise. But it's so much more complicated than that. The "show-me" state might have been considered southern, but it is rumored to have large pockets of northern sympathizers. My great-great grandparents had nothing to do with the Civil War (except for one). This has nothing to do with slavery. This is identity. How did my ancestors think of themselves? Did they consider themselves to be from the South, or from the (gasp!) North?
All of this brings to mind an unfortunate memory. Just so you know, I don't like tea. Sweet or unsweet, I don't like it. Anyway, when I was little, Grandpa Logue would always act shocked and dismayed whenever I said I didn't like tea. The conversation would go like this:
"Stephanie! You don't like tea?!"
"No sir, I don't like tea."
"Well, you ain't from the South if you don't like tea."
Did Grandpa know something I didn't? Lord, please don't let anybody down in Dixie find out about this...
Thank-you, Randy, for a fun assignment!

An interesting take on this edition of SNGF. My Illinois ancestors ended up in Texas and their son fought for the Confederate side, but there are whiffs of Emancipating Baptists/Union sympathizers among my South Carolina relatives, so sympathies are not strictly dictated by geography.
- S. Lincecum said...
Oh, you are so right, Greta! The post was a little in jest, but I really do wonder what the thoughts of my Missouri ancestors were. They might have been too busy making their way in the world to even think about politics.
- Craig Manson said...
A great post, Stephanie! You're a native of Georgia with roots in Missouri; I'm a native of Missouri with roots in Georgia...
- S. Lincecum said...
Thanks, Craig! As you know, some of the Lincecums traveled down to Georgia, over to Louisiana, then all the way to Texas...

Pellets don't clump either. Time will tell if notates are lowered as they have only been tumbling a week now DONT DO IT! By Todd on 2/23/14 Todd wouldn't recommend this product to a friend If your tank is already up and running DON'T!!! use this stuff. It killed my whole tank slowly but surely. It made everything healthy and brighter at first then came the cyano bacteria . I immediately removed it and did a massive water change to get rid of any of the bacteria it created but I was too late and over the next 6 months no matter what I did it didn't help and now I have a tank full of rock and a starfish. pretty good By Dustin on 12/11/13 Dustin would recommend this product to a friend works good for nitrate reduction but I dont see it helping with phosphates in my tank. Great stuff, good price, but 500ml is a tiny bag By Anthony on 12/3/13 Anthony would recommend this product to a friend I've been running the stuff for 9 months and have been very happy with the results. The last time I ordered I ordered the 1000ml and that's the small size shown in the picture, this last time I accidentally ordered the 500ml, thinking it was the small size I ordered before and was disappointed. My fault of course. I really think the two small sizes should be listed in cups instead of ml since the calculator only shows the number of cups recommended. Great so far By Russell on 11/30/13 Russell would recommend this product to a friend I have been running these pellets in my DIY reactor for about 8 weeks now with great results. I havent noticed much of an uptick in my skimmate, but nitrates are down and algae is almost completely gone. I may have to step up feeding or supplement feed my crabs and snails soon. GREAT FOR PO4 AND NO3 By Jhon on 11/27/13 Jhon would recommend this product to a friend Been using for about 2 years, on both my tanks resolved my hair algae and kept it away. This is my main source of nutrient export. Good Product For Good Price By The Reef Spot on 11/23/13 The Reef Spot would recommend this product to a friend Just started running the biopellets. Will be a month to see how effective they will be. But for the price, cant beat it! Great Product with a catch By Anne on 10/17/13 Anne would recommend this product to a friend I've been using BRS biopellets on my tank for a little over 6 months now, and have been getting great results for about 4 months. The first 2 months were spent fighting cyano outbreaks despite not having high nitrates or phosphates. I was doing 20% water changes every week and fed very lightly. After turning my UV off (it's inline after the biopellet reactor) the cyano went away within 2 weeks. I haven't run the UV since and have had wonderful results. Nutrients stay nice and low and the corals and fish are all flourishing. So after a bumpy start (probably my fault for running the UV) the pellets are performing very well and doing exactly what they are described to do. Great product at a good price By Mark on 9/17/13 Mark would recommend this product to a friend Great product at a good price. The only Bio Pellet brand I use. good for first few weeks BUT By Jay on 8/29/13 Jay wouldn't recommend this product to a friend This is the first BRS product I have to give negative feedback on. I'm a regular customer and always have great things to say about there products BUT these bio pellets are not cut out to be what described. I'm running 500 ml in a reef octopus br-110 with a model 2 pump. The pump is near new and very very strong. The problem is after the first few weeks they work great but as they begin to breakdown which they are meant to do they start to clump and and cause problems. Now if your reading this your initial response is to say that there isn't enough pressure and trust me that is not the case. I borrowed a second BR-110 reactor from a friend and used Ecobak pellets on one tank and the BRS with fresh pellets. This was an experiment I wanted to compare. Same pumps and all, after 4 months the ecobak pellets never clumped or had any issues and took the nitrates to 0 from 110-120. The second tank with the BRS pellets was clumping as usual and only took the nitrates to 80-90 from 100-110. This is just my comparison and opinion but if it comes to bio pellets ecobak worked the best. I still love BRS and will continue purchasing all my other necessities but the pellets are not their best product. working like a charm By James on 8/25/13 James would recommend this product to a friend I've had this setup on my tank for three weeks and now my nitrates are already starting come down. great price compared to other brands. Seems fine By riet on 8/17/13 riet would recommend this product to a friend I just started using them, but the product was delivered fast, and seems as advertised. Great! By John on 6/28/13 John would recommend this product to a friend Would definitely recommend BRS bio pellets, easy to use and nitrates are non existent. good By the man on 5/27/13 the man would recommend this product to a friend tumbles nice just wish they were cheaper...pellets in general Biopellet pimp my ride By Steve on 4/27/13 Steve would recommend this product to a friend A short time ago I purchased the BRS dual Medea reactor for GFO,CARBON, BIO, whatever. I have read a lot about this stuff and I will be applying this system to my 16gal nano when I arrive at my next duty station in San Juan, PR. I know it sounds like I am installing a Chevrolet big block engine in a Mini Cooper, but why not give it a shot! Another great Product from BRS!!! By Michael on 4/19/13 Michael would recommend this product to a friend I was running GFO in my BRS Reactor and I was having to change it every two weeks. My Phosphates and nitrates were on the high side for me so started to do research on biopellets and decided to give then a try. Since having them running in the system the levels have dropped greatly. I will update this in about a month or so as to get the full capabilities of this wonderful product. works good By Dustin on 3/31/13 Dustin would recommend this product to a friend i added this to my 1 year establishe reef tank.it will cloud the tank for a few days.do not panic.after a little over a month my nitrates went way down and have been at 0 6 months now. only con is they cost alot imo Great product By jose on 3/15/13 jose would recommend this product to a friend The pellets are tumbleing nicely,They are kind of expensive,work great my nitrates are always low,Product works as advertised. Descent price By Ali on 2/23/13 Ali would recommend this product to a friend This prodect is very good and has a reasonable price on it Can't say just yet. 5 stars for shipping and quality. By Toby on 2/15/13 Toby would recommend this product to a friend I bought these to run in my BRS reactor but recently switched over to Chemi-pure elite. Nice product but got nervous looking at forums and people were stating that once you use them, you can't stop. One if the reasons were serious nitrate spikes if you do. I'm not sure if this is false or true. However with reef tanks their is alot of misguiding info on forums. I may take the plunge after my current media depletes. So far so good.... By Tyler on 2/4/13 Tyler would recommend this product to a friend This is my 1st experience with biopellets and so far so good! I have started these on one of my tanks just to see how it works before I switch everywhere. The cost is great and the kids like watching them So far, these are the solution to my problems. By Ryan on 12/22/12 Ryan would recommend this product to a friend With all of the reviews that I had read on biopellets, they seemed to be hit or miss. I have them running in a two little fishies 550 reactor and removed the two sponge filters. They do fit through the wholes in the red covers but as long as flow is kept under control they can't make it high enough to escape. Since the introduction of the biopellets on Nov, 25th my phosphates have dropped 28% without a water change and nitrates have dropped by 50% with a water change (I forgot to test nitrates after the water change). I did have a slight algae bloom where the water got cloudy for roughly a week after the introduction of the pellets. Other then that one side of the pellets tends to clump and not flow as well as the other. This is more than likely due to the reactor not being built specifically made for biopellets. Does What it Says it Does By Ibrahim on 11/26/12 Ibrahim would recommend this product to a friend Been using this product for a couple of weeks and have noticed that my levels are lowering by the week. Great product. Long lasting By Colin on 11/25/12 Colin would recommend this product to a friend These things work great my nitrates are always low and they last a long time! They are kind of expensive but not so bad for how long they last! Would buy again.

Nice keep the imagination flowing.
Click-r to Flickr
I put this little scene together on a shelf in my livingroom. I took some pics for posterity, since I intend to change out the shelf's scene every month, and then wrote up a little something to give some context. If you're so inclined, take a look. I was playing with the tools in MS Word. The effect on the pics is intentional...the shots aren't that good, and I felt the effect added a little something to the theme. Next time, I will play with lighting and backgrounds a little more.
Anyway, enjoy. Just something fun for a Wednesday night after Power Con.
Nice keep the imagination flowing.

What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness affecting approximately 2 million people in the USA. Glaucoma refers to a group of eye diseases in which damage is caused to the optic nerve and as a result vision becomes impaired or blindness occurs.
In most cases, this optic nerve damage is caused as a result of increased pressure within the eye although the damage may also be caused by poor blood supply to the vital optic nerve fibers, a weakness in the structure of the nerve, and/or a problem in the health of the nerve fibers themselves. While Glaucoma is serious, if recognized and treated early it can be controlled. This is made difficult since glaucoma symptoms rarely occur until the disease is in a progressed stage.
What are the Different Types of Glaucoma?
- Chronic (primary open-angle) Glaucoma: This is the most common form of Glaucoma which often develops gradually, giving no warning signs until sight is irreversibly compromised. Peripheral vision slowly deteriorates as pressure in the eye builds up, leaving the individual with limited tunnel vision.
- Low-tension or Normal Tension Glaucoma: This type of Glaucoma occurs in the absence of elevated eye pressure. Optic nerve damage occurs, sometimes as a result of low blood pressure and as a result narrowed vision occurs.
- Acute (angle-closure) Glaucoma: When the pressure inside the eye increases rapidly due to the iris blocking the drainage of eye fluid, acute glaucoma can occur. This type of glaucoma is rare and is often severe. Symptoms come on suddenly and include pain, nausea, blurred vision, rainbow effects around lights and redness of the eye. Immediate medical help should be sought. If treatment is delayed there can be permanent visual damage.
- Congenital Glaucoma: Generally seen in infants, this rare form of glaucoma is caused by an abnormal drainage system. It can either be present at birth or develop later on in life. Parents often notice that their child seems sensitive to light, and has slightly enlarged and cloudy eyes that are often teary.
- Secondary Glaucoma: This can occur as a result of other disorders of the eye such as injury, cataracts, eye inflammation, previous surgery, diabetes, tumors, and certain medications such as steroids.

How Wayne Johnson goes above and beyond to conquer challenges at Accuform Manufacturing Inc.
Family Business
Wayne Johnson
Accuform Manufacturing Inc.
Like any proud parents, Ron and Veronica Johnson had high hopes and great confidence that their son, Wayne, would do a great job with what they had asked him to do.
They wanted Wayne to go to Houston, the epicenter of the safety industry at the time, and generate business as a sales representative for Accuform Manufacturing Inc.
They soon had to call Wayne back to Florida. The problem was Wayne had been so successful, he outsold Accuform's capacity. So his father brought him back to Florida to establish and grow the company's local customer base.
It was an example of the talent that Wayne possessed and paved the way for him to take over as the company's CEO in 1995 when his parents decided to retire. Johnson went right to work expanding Accuform's business to move beyond the company's initial product line and offer a robust catalog of other safety identification products.
Seven years later, he again embraced the spirit of innovation when he moved the company into the digital realm by replacing their old screen- and vacuum-printing methods with 100 percent digital printing.
Johnson always has his eye on the future, but that spirit of innovation is meshed with a strong work ethic and an understanding of how integral his employees are to the company's achievement of its goals.
Employees are recognized for tenure and have access to amenities such as a fitness center, a cafeteria and special parking for expectant mother — to demonstrate how much they are all valued in the organization. These perks demonstrate that while employees are expected to work hard and be committed to the business, they are also appreciated.
The company is currently facing one of its biggest challenges; something which Johnson is confident will also be one of its greatest opportunities. Operations are being moved into a new, larger office to accommodate future growth. While it will no doubt be challenging, Johnson is confident his team will come through once more.

How Michael Kosloske overcame tremendous adversity to build Health Insurance Innovations into an industry leader
Michael Kosloske
Chairman, president, CEO and founder
Health Insurance Innovations
Michael was probably thinking about being in the insurance business before he even knew what insurance was. Born into the third generation of Kosloske insurance business owners, he had developed acumen for the industry at an early age.
After countless conversations around the dinner table, his dream was to one day take over his parents' business. His plans continued to evolve as he attended Florida State University when he began to see the potential for technology to revolutionize insurance product distribution and sales.
His new plan was to create a scalable online platform to bring consumers, agents and carriers together to transact business.
This desire to create a new business model led him to sell the family business he had dreamed of owning and eventually start raising capital for what would be a new business, Health Insurance Innovations. But he never banked on having to deal with the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
Raising funds to start his company became a huge undertaking. Kosloske eventually scraped together the money he needed, but the tough times were not over.
There was barely enough money to cover payroll and it got to the point where his wife, having just delivered a baby, encouraged her husband to quickly hit the road and see what he could do to drum up more business.
The challenges continued but all that hard work finally began to pay off and the business started to boom. The entrepreneurial spirit that drove Kosloske and his wife to work so hard to make HII a success is firmly embedded in the company's culture.
Kosloske encourages employees to come up with their own ideas about how to make the business function even better for its customers. It all leads to a company that continues to grow with employees who are proud to be key factors in the growth.

How Michael Wright got charged up, left a management job, and founded Power Grid Engineering
Michael J. Wright
President and co-founder
William "Glenn" Durie
Vice President-Engineering and co-founder
Andre Uribe
Vice President-Business Development and co-founder
Power Grid Engineering LLC
Frustrated with the quality of subcontract electrical work available, Michael J. Wright and co-workers William "Glenn" Durie and Andrew Uribe became intrigued in late 2005 with the idea of starting their own consulting firm that would fill the quality assurance niche. But the idea of selling quality was unheard of at the time.
Wright was passionate about his idea to the point of leaving his management level position and salary to work from home, without a salary, while getting Power Grid Engineering off the ground.
He soon had the duty of telling his boss he would be leaving the company — but wanted to sign up his old company as PGE's first customer. Wright was successful in landing the contract work he wanted, as well as in negotiating his partners' departures to stagger their effective dates.
It was not all a bed of roses at first for the new company. With only one customer, PGE had to walk on eggshells at times to maintain its relationship with its sole client.
Even as PGE began to make profits, Wright realized the need to diversify his customer base to ensure success in the future. It took time and effort, but by 2009, results were being seen. Even more impressive is the fact that Wright has managed to grow the company without taking on debt by funding the company organically.
The next challenge was to find qualified workers in an industry with a shortage of experienced candidates. To address this situation, Wright created a family-oriented corporate culture that encourages employee retention. Also, he began holding a series of training seminars that have served as an invaluable recruiting and networking tool. His knowledge and public speaking ability are put to use in that effort. He even opens these seminars to competitors' employees.
Wright is willing to share his expertise by training the next generation of electrical engineers — and thus gain clients and recruit employees.

How Naomi Whittel took a trip to France and came home with the inspiration for a game-changing business idea
Naomi Whittel
CEO and founder
Reserveage Organics
Naomi Whittel got the idea for Reserveage Organics while she was in the south of France contemplating the French paradox. It's a belief many have that centers on findings showing the French have a relatively low rate of coronary heart disease despite a diet rich in saturated fats.
As she looked for clues, she began to research the benefits of daily consumption of red wine. This ultimately led her to develop exclusive relationships with seventh-generation organic vineyard farmers to purchase raw materials for a line of health and wellness products.
Whittel, the company's CEO and founder, has built a sophisticated team of leaders and advisers to conduct research and get access to cutting-edge ingredients that can help people feel better and be healthier.
This team plays an integral role in the company's operations, and leaders have the opportunity to make a difference on the front lines. When the company succeeds, Whittel wants her people to share in the glory.
One reason for this kind of culture is that Whittel knows what it's like to have to fight for recognition. When she started the company, she was one of the few female CEOs in the health and wellness industry. She knew there would be challenges in marketing women, but also knew that it was crucial to the business. That was a driving factor in lining up female leadership to help guide her company.
Of course, there have been other challenges too. As more and more people become familiar with wellness products, the industry has become more scrutinized to ensure products are doing what they claim they can do. Whittel has a strong legal counsel on hand to advise her and to make sure that she never makes a false claim about one of Reserveage Organics' products.
The result is a company that continues to grow and a culture that is thriving with new ideas and determination, limited only by the creativity of the people who work there.

How Crystal Morris is playing to customer's needs at Gator Cases Inc.
Distribution & Manufacturing
Crystal Morris
Gator Cases Inc.
Crystal Morris, president of Gator Cases Inc., embodies the essence of entrepreneurship, innovation and social responsibility. Morris traces her successful career with Gator Cases to her passion for the company, the employees she is responsible for and the music industry as a whole.
Gator Cases was started with the goal of serving the music industry by selling different types of instrumentation and instrument cases. Dealers did not have one source for all their needs so Gator Cases became that one source. With innovation into new product segments and diversification to a global customer base, Gator Cases has grown to a multi-million dollar corporation.
Morris leads Gator Cases by example. She is positive, knowledgeable of Gator Cases' products, and is a hard worker. She does not hesitate to roll up her sleeves to get the job done. In the earlier days, when her father became ill, she had to take over the sales side of the business. This was difficult since the music industry is male-dominated.
At first, no one took her seriously because she didn't take the old-fashioned fast-talking sales approach. Instead, she sells through demonstrating her product knowledge and finding out how to solve the target customer's problems. She identifies what her customer's purpose is in the market and in turn, she finds ways where doing business with Gator Cases could improve their business.
Based on their unique business model of innovation and convenience to the music customer, there is no one equal competitor to Gator Cases. The closest competitors are only competing for business in each independent line of Gator Cases. Because the company services several markets, it can bundle value to address the various needs of its clients.
The future is bright for Gator Cases and under the leadership of Morris, success is sure to continue. Future expansion includes new and exciting innovative products and manufacturing processes in the U.S.

How Manny and George Hernandez embarked on an adventure to start Solo Printing
Distribution & Manufacturing
Manny Hernandez
George Hernandez Sr.
Vice President
Solo Printing Inc.
Before Manny and George Hernandez started Solo Printing in 1985, they were sales representatives for a print shop enterprise — and they learned that customers came back not only for the product but for the service and the quality.
So the brothers set out on an adventure to bring their own high standards of service and quality to a competitive and demanding industry. Since they were now independent from big corporation attitudes and planning methods, they could make their own decisions and implement techniques and strategies.
One last hurdle remained: no one would readily lend them money for the equipment required for even a small commercial print shop. They finally found someone to believe in them and began printing letterhead stationery and fliers in a 1,400-sq. ft. warehouse. It was a simple beginning but it allowed them to remain committed to their vision. Success came immediately and they were able to preserve their business idea unaltered.
The brothers believe a successful business is all about teamwork. The employees at Solo Printing have enabled the company to differentiate itself from the competition. By having skilled workers want to work for a company that has quality equipment, is busy and treats them well, the brothers ensure a reputation for quality, service and price competitiveness. In 2012, for instance, the 130-employee company set record sales.
Among the incentives Solo Printing offers employees is a quarterly bonus program, annual raises and bonuses even throughout the tough economy. The brothers are on the print shop floor on a daily basis making sure that everyone is happy and teaming up to define solutions should issues arise.
One of Solo Printing's crowning achievements was receiving an industry award of G7 Master Certification, granted to printing facilities required to use the G7 Proof-to-Print Process and use the most modern technology, techniques and printing press controls to produce a close visual match from proof to print. Solo Printing has been recognized by the South Florida Business Journal as one of the region's fastest growing companies.

How Charles Murray is innovating plastic pouches at PPi Technologies Group
Distribution & Manufacturing
R. Charles Murray
PPi Technologies Group
In the mid-1990s, Charles Murray was inspired to use his knowledge of plastics, which he obtained through working in the plastic shrink-binding industry, to expand the use of plastic as a packaging material. At the time, Murray felt plastic was undervalued by American companies, which tended to use aluminum, glass or paper products.
So in 1996, he founded PPi Technologies Group, a supplier of StandUp pouch and tray machines used to package food, drinks, drugs, household products and chemicals. His business model was based on more than 30 patents to give customers an advantage over competitors and to keep the U.S. pouch machine market ahead of global competition.
He took a new approach to the pouch machinery industry by signing long-term supply agreements or investing in or with global machine suppliers to make parts of the American designed machines and then deliver these back to the U.S. for finishing with his patented technology.
During the last 16 years, PPi Technologies has expanded from producing pouch machinery to producing its own pouch beverage product. Murray, who is CEO, started Redi-2-DrinQ Group in 2008 for packing beverages into pouches and launched his own brand of shaped Redi-2-DrinQ ShotPak cocktails and STR8UP premium spirits in a patented hip flask shaped pouch.
The traditional wine in a box segment came under attack next with the launch of his patented BarrelPaQ pouch without the box. He then rounded out the beverage industry with a CarboPouch for draft beer and Chilling Rocks water pouch.
In 2008, the company was included in the Inc. magazine list of fastest growing private companies. Murray plans to lead the company into its next stage, focusing on expanding its Redi-2-DrinQ Group and providing safe, environmentally responsible beverage products to consumers in addition to going after products in the refrigerator that can be packaged and stored in one of the company's innovative pouches.

How Jonathan Klein and Luis Luque fashion Cimation as a progressive brand and company
Jonathan Brett Klein
CEO and co-founder
Luis Luque
CEO and director
In a decidedly old-school industry, oil and gas, Jonathan Klein and Luis Luque are a breath of fresh air. They have worked hard to build Cimation as both a company and a brand with a specific identity and corporate message unlike many of its competitors.
Where other companies may scoff at marketing as expensive and unnecessary, both understand the importance of a cohesive, modern marketing strategy. This initiative enables Cimation to compete with Fortune 500 technology companies for top industry talent and has helped earn business accolades even beyond the energy sector.
They have created an energetic environment where people truly love to work. All employees are encouraged to pitch new business ideas and are rewarded for their success along the way. Employees are not confined by their job title; instead, they are urged to seek out training opportunities and develop expertise across multiple areas.
The collaborative work environment at Cimation encourages employees to offer critical insights and constructive feedback. Recently, in a strategic rollout across all of Cimation's offices, Klein, Luque and their executive team launched a series of focus groups centered on key business areas. These contributions to the overarching company goals increased engagement at the grassroots level and improved employee satisfaction.
Klein and Luque believe — and Cimation's sustained success attests to it — that empowered, engaged and appreciated employees are more productive and work harder to support the ambitions of the entire company.
The duo cofounded Cimation in 2009 at the height of the recession when most businesses were struggling to remain open. Nevertheless, theyhave led the company to success from day one, increasing revenue, profits, head count and industry accolades year upon year.
They recently spearheaded an intellectual property initiative that will see Cimation developing new packaged technology solutions and other forms of intellectual property in the near future. Although a risky move in an industry overcommitted to underperforming technology, their vision of Cimation as a truly "great" company demands that they continue to push the envelope.

Arab Spring Water 'is just ordinary Tap'
Cairo remains in the grip of civil unrest, as Egyptians realise that the expensive bottled 'democracy' that had been marketed throughout the Arab region may just be the 'bog standard' drinking variety. Despite the luxurious packaging, extensive retailing and U.S. endorsement there is a growing suspicion that this 'democracy' may not be as refreshing as once thought. President Mohammed Morsi has been accused of having the same still, slightly bland taste of previous regimes.

The U.S. Postal Service adds more than 600,000 new delivery points each year, mostly in the form of new residential homes. While most new residences include cluster boxes rather than to-the-door delivery to reduce costs, delivery remains the Postal Service's largest cost center. Canada Post, which has suffered losses recently after years of profits, has introduced a $200 per address charge that it is assessing housing developers for installing community mailboxes. Canada Post claims the charge "is in keeping with how other infrastructure costs are shared by utilities and other services." Canada Post, which adds almost 200,000 new addresses a year, could earn tens of millions of dollars from the fee and it would offset the added costs of new delivery points. Housing developers in Canada have been fighting the charge, arguing that it is unfair to assess new homes only, which they say receive substandard delivery service compared to older homes and apartment buildings that get delivery to the door. In the United States, the Postal Service does not charge a fee to set-up and deliver to a new address. New delivery points are generally more profitable than old ones because they generate on average more volume and revenue and they cost less due to the increased use of lower cost options such as curbside and cluster boxes. Still, other utilities, such as gas, electric, and cable companies, charge customers a new service fee when they move or start service. Cities and counties also often charge an administrative fee for services, such as water, when a customer changes or adds a new address, sometimes in the $50 range. The City of Mountain View, CA, charges a hefty administrative fee of $195 to change or add a new address. Should the Postal Service recover the costs associated with new delivery points by charging customers a one-time "set-up" fee for their new home or business location? Or does that effectively penalize a new homeowner for receiving what is usually a more cost-effective form of delivery (cluster boxes)? If the Postal Service were to charge, should it only charge for the administrative costs it incurs to set up new addresses, such as completing and reviewing Postal Service forms and updating to the Address Management System and Delivery Sequence File? Should it charge the developer as Canada Post is doing? Or should it retain the status quo and keep it so that costs are shared by all ratepayers? Are there other solutions?

Volume Three of the Collegium Chronicles (A Valdemar Novel)
Mercedes Lackey - Author
Paperback: Mass Market:
add to cart
- eBook - ePub eBook: $7.99
Enter the thrilling third volume in the epic Collegium Chronicles.
In Mercedes Lackey's classic coming-of-age story, the orphan Magpie pursues his quest for his parent's identity with burning urgency-while also discovering another hidden talent and being trained by the King's Own Herald as an undercover agent for Valdemar. Shy Bardic Trainee Lena has to face her famous but uncaring father, one of Valdemar's most renowned Bards. And Healing Trainee Bear must struggle against his disapproving parents, who are pressuring Bear to quit the Healers' Collegium because he lacks the magical Healing Gift.
Each of the three friends must face his or her demons and find their true strength as they seek to become the full Heralds, Bards, and Healers of Valdemar.
Mags approached Bear's booth quietly; it was, on this last day of the "festival" even more popular if that were possible. Like the other booths, it was a half-tent, providing welcome shade for those who came to be instructed and issued a voucher for the kits that would be going out soon with the Guard supplies. Today people were not only listening attentively, they were asking questions. From where he stood, Mags couldn't hear most of them, but the Healer kept nodding slightly with approval and had a slight smile of satisfaction on his face.
No, it was far more than just satisfaction. This was the look of someone who was not just satisfied, but proud of his pupil.
Mags stiffened, suddenly, as he sensed someone who was not. Who was, in fact, in a towering rage. He turned slightly, to see a man in Healer's Greens to his right and behind him, whose face was utterly rigid, and every muscle tight. He did not have to lower shields to know why; although he had never actually met one of Bear's family, there was no mistaking the features. The shape of the bones beneath the skin was the same, especially about the cheekbones and chin. The hair was the same chestnut brown, and the man had the same sturdy build, with added muscles that Bear would no doubt acquire with age and work.
Mags did not hesitate. This man was so angry with his young relative that he wasn't even thinking of the damage giving free rein to his temper could cause. The confrontation he was about to start was going to turn into an Incident, one that would cause a great deal of harm, not only to Bear, not only to the Healers, but to all three Collegia.
He half-closed his eyes and concentrated on the Healer overseeing Bear. He didn't know the man, but after all, his Gift was to Mindspeak into anyone's head, whether or not they had the Gift themselves. Meanwhile, Dallen would be doing something on his own—possibly alerting the King's Own's Companion, Rolan. He didn't even have to tell Dallen what was going on; they lived in each other's heads so much that unless either of them blocked out the other, what one knew, the other did. Maybe not everyone would care for that sort of closeness and lack of privacy, but Mags liked it, and it certain made things easier at times like this.
::Sir!:: he said urgently, and saw the Healer start. ::'Tis Trainee Mags. One'f Bear's family's here, an' he's about t'make a mighty to-do!::
The Healer looked about and quickly spotted both Mags and Bear's relative. Mags kept his mind open, and "heard" the man's halting reply.
::Can . . . you . . . summon . . . discreet . . . help?::
::Yessir,:: he replied immediately. ::Already on th' way.::
::Done, Chosen,:: he heard Dallen say as soon as he had replied. ::But it will take them a few moments. If Bear's brother makes a move toward the tent before the 'reception party' gets there—::
So—it was Bear's older brother. Not good. ::Got it,:: Mags said, just as he saw the man's face harden with decision, and the little movement that suggested he was about to stride toward the booth.
He ran up to the man before he had a chance to take that first step and stood directly in his path. " 'Scuze me, Healer!" he said, with a combination of deference and authority. "I don' b'lieve ye've got yer badge on."
The man stared at him, taken completely by surprise. "Badge? What—who are you?"
"Ye gotta hev a badge, sir," Mags said insistently, without identifying himself, just in case Bear had ever talked about him at home as being a friend. Besides, he was in Grays. That should be identification enough to give him the authority to accost anyone he needed to. "Ye gotta hev a badge. Badge sez who ye are, an' if'n yer fambly, if'n yer teacher. They be clearin' townies out soon. On'y famblies an' teachers kin be 'ere then. Ye gotta hev a badge, sir!"
The man's face darkened. "I don't need some stinking—" he began, and at that point, the "help" arrived.
He found himself engulfed by a crowd of Healers and Guards, four of each. The Healers greeted him heartily, the Guards interposed themselves in such a way that there was no way he could get past them to Bear without forcing his way through, something they were not prepared to allow. His face reddened, but the Healers were all talking loudly, one of them, the largest, flinging an arm around his shoulders. Before he quite realized what they were doing, they had hustled him off toward Healers' Collegium, quite the opposite direction from Bear's booth.
Mags sensed that the confrontation had not been prevented, however. Merely postponed.
He winced inwardly. This was going to be a bad day for poor Bear. No matter what the outcome, Bear always emerged from a clash with his family feeling miserable.
Most likely 'cause he kin never win.
Well, at least he would have had his week of approval before getting hit with the hammer of Family Scorn.
Mags could never figure this sort of thing out. Why couldn't they see? It made no sense to him. And even if they couldn't see, why didn't they just leave him alone? Bear had the approval of the Collegium. Why wasn't that enough for them?

All the ones Iv tried have failed because it needs root access

The only way I know of doing it using the DDMS batch file in the Software Development Kit (SDK starters package) in the Tools folder. If you do a google search for DDMS Android, you should find a decent guide on installing/using it.
Hey guys, I just found an easy way to take a screenshot,
Download DXtop from the app store and assign your camera button to snap a screenshot, its really easy and theres TONs of themes out there for it
I like the android SDK way best. Gives you a nice, clear image. And it's a piece of cake to use.
Will any of the screenshot options discussed here -- including the SDK -- take screen shots of web pages?
I tried Home++, which requires neither rooting the phone nor installing software on my computer, but it will only take images from the desktop, not applications. It works great for that task.
okay, which is the exact name of dxtop? there's a million themes so i dont know what is a theme and which isnt
